Practise IB Biology HL 1.2.15 by applying chemiosmosis concepts to exam-style questions.
The electron micrograph shows part of a cell including a mitochondrion.

Explain how ATP is generated in mitochondria by chemiosmosis.
a protons pumped across inner membrane of mitochondria/into intermembrane space;
b using energy released by flow of electrons/by electron transport/by electron carriers;
c proton gradient established/maintained/ proton motive force generated;
d protons pass/diffuse back through inner membrane/membrane of cristae/to matrix;
e through ATP synthase;
f ATP production coupled to flow of protons / ATP from ADP and Pi using energy from protons;
